Rated at 28" my fishing curves are 45#, 48# & 50#, my favorite three hunting bows are 50# 55# & 60# ahh there is actually a 45# @ 28" Kmag that I like too. I draw 29 1/2" to the side of my mouth.

I have a 42@28 which I pull to about 40# that I use for bowfishing and I just got a 56@28 which I likely pull to about 53# that I plan to use for everything else.

60 @ 28" - could go lighter if it weren't for that whole weight not being adjustable on the recurve thing.

My go-to bow is a 58" Black Widow PSRV,52@27 but this coming season I think I'm gonna be hunting with a '75 58" Browning Nomad Stalker II,48@27 or a 54" Shakespeare Super Necedah,52@27. I'm leaning towards the Browning though
67" Hill Tembo, 50@27
67" Hill Half Breed, 53@27
66" Hill Redman, 48@27
66" Hill Cheetah, 55@27
66" Hill Big Five, 50@27
